Importer of Record (IOR) and Exporter of Record (EOR) services in Gibraltar for IT and Telecommunications Equipment, Laboratory and Research Systems, Data Centre Hardware, Semiconductor Equipment, Medical Devices, Aerospace Components, and Industrial High-Value Hardware, supported by Remote-Hands services for on-ground technical coordination and controlled execution.
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern edge of Europe. While geographically adjacent to the EU, Gibraltar is not part of the European Union Customs Union and does not operate under EU VAT regimes. This creates a distinct import and export framework that differs from both the EU and the UK mainland.
High-value technology, regulated equipment, and mission-critical systems entering Gibraltar typically arrive via Gibraltar International Airport or through controlled maritime channels linked to UK and European hubs. Every shipment requires accurate customs declarations, correct valuation, and a clearly designated Importer of Record or Exporter of Record.
Uproot Technologies assumes full IOR/EOR responsibility in Gibraltar, enabling compliant equipment movement without requiring clients to establish a local Gibraltar entity. This is reinforced with Remote-Hands support for physical receipt, site coordination, and technical handling.
All imports and exports in Gibraltar are governed by HM Customs Gibraltar, operating independently of the EU Customs Code and EU VAT systems.
Key compliance requirements include:
• Customs declaration submission
• Accurate HS code classification
• Declared customs value
• Import duty assessment where applicable
• Proof of origin and commercial intent
As the Importer of Record, Uproot Technologies assumes full legal responsibility for customs accuracy, valuation, and regulatory alignment, eliminating exposure for overseas manufacturers and service providers.
Network hardware, servers, switches, and telecom infrastructure require accurate technical descriptions and conformity documentation aligned with UK standards rather than EU VAT frameworks.
